In a galaxy far from home….

Well, at least United States Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyerUSS Carney (DDG 64) is still firmly on planet Earth….only 5,000 miles (8,000 km) from home….patrolling under crystal clear skies in the Mediterranean Sea.

The Zumwalt completed its first at-sea tests this week, and its captain, who really is named James Kirk, couldn’t be happier. “For the crew and all those involved in designing, building, and readying this fantastic ship, this is a huge milestone,” he says.
